Decoding the Code of Neural Degeneration and Regeneration
WELCOME TO DR. FENG TIAN LAB
Transforming cutting-edge neuroscience research to
new treatments of neurodegenerative diseases
Lab Introduction
Tian lab at the Department of Neurology at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School focuses on the molecular and computational dissection of the genetic programs that determine the degeneration of suspectible neurons in neurodegenerative diseases, including but not limited to Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, Alzheimer's Disease and Glaucoma. Addressing this key research question will provide insights into novel neurodegenerative treatments by reprogramming susceptible neurons to be more resistant to disease-related stress.
